  1. Summary

    Spencer Reid has always been a little different from everyone else.

    He’s a certified genius who works for the FBI with their Behavioral Analysis Unit, a holder of multiple doctorates and degrees, and the son of an absent father and a schizophrenic mother.

    But when a personal tragedy opens his eyes to a world he never knew existed, he will have to become something he never in a million years thought he’d be. After all, Grimm is just the last name of two famous brothers and all their stories were just fairytales.

    Right?”

    Summary

    Jenova's death poisoned Gaia from the inside, and she withered away. Gaia rewinds time and starts over, again and again and again. Failure after failure leaves the planet desperate.

    If the Hero remembers, so too does the Son of the Calamity. The stronger she makes her Hero, the stronger Jenova makes her Son.

    To make a change that mattered, Gaia had to keep it small. Thirteen changes across eons cascade into differences significant enough to hopefully save the planet.

    Cloud is reborn into a different world, a different Nibelheim. Joining a Shinra like never before with his two military working dogs, he's fast tracked into Public Security Forces. SOLDIER not even a consideration and out of reach for Cloud.

    He makes new friends, different enemies, and attracts the unwanted attention of a silver-haired general all the while feeling as if the entire world is weighing on his shoulders though he doesn't know why.

    Or: The planet makes a few changes. Cloud remembers nothing but feels an odd overwhelming sense of doom. He has two new dog companions to help him navigate his new life that seem to cause more shenanigans than actually help. And Sephiroth has a curious hobby of cloud watching.

    Summary

    The Long Night has ended, but the world is broken. Bran the Builder struggles to raise a Wall strong enough to hold back the dead, while across the sea an island drifts into the Bay of Seals — a castle of stone and silence, hiding a girl no one remembers and a dragon not meant to exist.

    OR

    Bran builds for the living, Haddie endures for herself — and fate brings them to the same shore.

    NOTE: This is Part 2 of 7 and meant to be read in order.

    Summary

    A Low-Effort Account of High-Stakes Nonsense

    Holly is done with saving the world. After a war, funeral after funeral, and one unfortunate wish made to a magical room with no sense of boundaries, she ends up somewhere very far from home—and very much someone else’s problem.

    Now she runs a not-entirely-legal bakery in a city where flour is political, dragons are supposed to be terrifying (hers is the size of a teacup), and minding your own business is practically a crime. She’s got no interest in thrones, titles, or noble nonsense.

    Which is exactly why the nobles won’t leave her alone.

    All Holly wants is to survive, stay unimportant, and keep her pastry case full. But when a certain highborn woman starts showing up for tea, Holly finds herself dragged—reluctantly—into court gossip, royal secrets, and a mess big enough to topple a kingdom.

    She didn’t come here to change the world. But the world keeps showing up at her door.

    Summary

    Chucked into the oh-so amazing(ly doomed) world of Cookie Run: Kingdom, with no sense or memory of why you’re there or how you got there, so many things are wrong and disorienting. You’ve been ‘blessed’ with something you never asked for and fated to prevent a dark age, yet all you want to do is disappear.

    But you’re not that lucky, are you?

    For example, why the fuck are you a Cookie?

    Why on Earthbread did you FALL FROM THE WITCHES DAMNED SKY???

    And why, oh why, does the entirety of the earth rely on your teensy, dumbfounded, doughy shoulders? You are just an ordinary Cookie, right?

     

    ….right?

     

    …Good luck, reader c;<
